Keep the whole build in view: lumber, panels, roofing, hardware and finishing supplies. Check an item when you have accounted for it, then print all items or just what remains.
Revised layout: no windows; one right-side high vent retained. Dimensioned items follow the stated wall convention and true-½-in nest-box schedule. Planning allowances need a final cutting layout. Design hold means the required size, quantity or detail is still unresolved. A checkmark records progress; it does not approve a structural detail.

| Quantity / allowance: Outside measured building quantities Design hold |
Allow room for the mower approach, turning, door swing and level run/ramp access; quantities depend on the actual site. |
Quantities are a planning aid, not a complete structural release or supplier order. Keep the final approved sizes, measured stock thicknesses and actual opening dimensions with your purchase list. Opening-worksheet pieces must replace the affected base-grid members, rather than being counted twice. Printed checks reflect this browser’s current checklist; the downloadable blank PDF starts unchecked.
Put a tape measure to the plan. Start with the wall dimensions, lay out the plates, then calculate each confirmed opening.
Wall worksheet · proposed assembly. The exact lengths below follow the corner and plate arrangement shown here. The 3D model stays a layout illustration; this worksheet does not change it. Confirm actual lumber, rough openings and the structural design before cutting. Items that cannot yet be sized are listed under Remaining pieces.
Shed + Coop · DuckYard · Proposed wall-framing worksheet. Dimensions are inches unless noted. Printed calculations do not constitute structural approval.
The shed footprint is measured to the outside faces of the wall framing. Siding, sheathing, roof overhangs and the run are outside that rectangle. Vertical wall dimensions start at the top of the deck.
96 − 1½ − 3 = 91½ in
An 8 ft wall is the complete framed wall height. An 8 ft stud or a 92⅝ in precut stud will change that height. Measure the lumber you receive; this worksheet assumes dry, dressed 2 × 4 stock.
Use the same datum on every plate. This guide makes the front and rear walls full width, then fits both side walls between them.
Full-length pieces are assumed. If you need splices, obtain the required locations, overlap and fastening before substituting shorter stock. The diagram specifies geometry; it does not establish the required corner post or connection detail.
All pieces below use actual 1½ × 3½ in stock. The plate quantities are for the stated arrangement. Stud quantities depend on the final openings, corners and wall intersections.
| Piece / location | Quantity | Cut length | Before you cut |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front + rear bottom plates | 2 | 144 in · 12 ft | One per wall. Remove the confirmed rear pop-door threshold after assembly. |
| Front + rear first top plates | 2 | 144 in · 12 ft | Full-width lower layer of the double top plate. |
| Left + right bottom plates | 2 | 149 in · 12 ft 5 in | Fit between front/rear frames. Remove the confirmed left entry threshold after assembly. |
| Left + right first top plates | 2 | 149 in · 12 ft 5 in | Match the side-wall bottom plates. |
| Left + right second top plates | 2 | 156 in · 13 ft | Extend over the front/rear frames to lap the corners. |
| Front + rear second top plates | 2 | 137 in · 11 ft 5 in | Fit between the side-wall second top plates. |
| Partition bottom + two top plates | 3 | 137 in · 11 ft 5 in | Proposed double-top convention. Confirm the partition-to-wall and roof connection. |
| Full-height studs / opening kings | Layout required | 91½ in · 7 ft 7½ in | Front wall has 10 base grid positions before extra corner/backing members. Do not use the grid total as an order quantity. |
| Blocking in a regular 16 in bay | Layout required | 14½ in · 1 ft 2½ in | 16 − 1½. Measure each actual bay; end bays, opening bays and corners differ. |
Plate set: 12 exterior pieces + 3 proposed partition pieces. Cut one reference piece, check it against the deck, then repeat. Cut lengths exclude blade kerf; leave kerf and end-trimming allowance when nesting cuts in purchased boards. A nominal stock length is not a guarantee of a square, usable end.
Numbers below are stud centerlines in inches from the outside front or left frame datum. Mark both edges at centerline ± ¾ in. Mark corresponding plates together and mark the stud side of each line. Preserve the global datum through the inset side and partition walls.
| Wall | Base centerlines, before openings | Positions |
|---|---|---|
| Front / rear From outside left face | ¾, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 143¼ | 10 each |
| Left / right From outside original front face | 4¼, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 151¾ | 11 each |
| Partition From outside left face | 4¼, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 139¾ | 10 |
These are 52 layout positions, not 52 full studs to buy or cut. Delete or shorten affected grid studs at openings; add the approved kings, jacks, corner backing and partition backing. End bays are intentionally shorter than a regular bay. For an inset side plate, subtract 3½ in from the listed global mark to measure from the physical end of that plate.
These are modeled opening targets, not manufacturer rough openings. A finished clear opening may need a larger framed opening for a jamb, threshold, shims or hardware. All vertical measurements below are above the deck.
| Opening | Width × height | Horizontal edges | Bottom / head | Framing status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mower doors · left wall | 72 × 80 in | 16–88 in from front | 0 / 80 in | Confirm door RO + header assembly |
| Coop access · partition | 30 × 80 in | 104–134 in from left | 0 / 80 in | Confirm door RO + header assembly |
| Egg hatch · partition | 36 × 10 in | 13–49 in from left | 13½ / 23½ in | Confirm hatch size + elevation |
| Chicken door · rear | 12 × 16 in | 96–108 in from left | 0 / 16 in | Confirm unit, guides + threshold |
| Back-side vent · right wall | 24 × 8 in | 118–142 in from front | 84 / 92 in | Only 1 in above opening |
| Run gate · right side | 36 × 80 in | 60–96 in behind rear wall | Grade datum | Gate/jamb/support design required |
Confirm framing above the retained vent. Both windows and the entry-side vent have been removed. The remaining vent on the right wall ends 92 in above the deck; the double top plate begins at 93 in. That leaves only 1 in for a separate header. Resolve this opening’s header/bearing detail or elevation before cutting. The model’s shallow header is illustrative.
Use a single, isolated opening with continuous jacks from the bottom plate to the header and, for a raised opening, a sill between those jacks. Enter your confirmed rough-opening dimensions and approved header detail. This computes lengths; it does not select a load-bearing header.
Your opening cuts will appear here after the dimensions and header detail are entered. They will also be included in the printed guide and CSV.
Let W = rough-opening width; B = rough-opening bottom above deck; H = rough-opening height; D = approved header depth; J = jacks per end. Actual stud/plate thickness is 1½ in. The header underside is B + H.
The worksheet handles a conventional horizontal header with a level bottom and top. It does not cover header hangers, flush beams, engineered portal frames, overlapping openings or multiple sill layers. Every output is shown to the nearest 1/16 in; entered dimensions must be in 1/16 in increments.
The preliminary build package’s C-02 sheet supplies these nonstructural fixture cuts. They assume plywood that actually measures ½ in thick and produce a bank 38 in wide × 12½ in deep × 13 in high.
| ½ in plywood piece | Quantity | Cut dimensions | Assembly / fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top + bottom | 2 | 38 × 12½ in | Full-width panels. Vertical panels fit between them. |
| Two sides + two dividers | 4 | 12 × 12 in | 12 in high × 12 in deep. Position for three equal 12 in clear cells. |
| Rear closure blank | 1 | 38 × 12 in | Fit between top/bottom and cap the back ends of vertical panels. Coordinate the egg-hatch cutout or removable access before fastening. |
| Removable bedding lips | 3 | 12 × 3 in | Starting blanks. Fit to the assembled cell openings and allow removal clearance. |
Assembly interpretation: the 12 in high vertical panels sit on the bottom and under the top; the rear panel caps their 12 in deep ends between those two horizontal panels. This reconciles the C-02 dimensions. Mounting cleats, support cuts and the hatch fit are measured after the partition is framed.
Keeping three cells at 12 in clear width, let t be the measured plywood thickness: bank width = 36 + 4t; total height = 12 + 2t; total depth = 12 + t. Top/bottom cuts are (36 + 4t) × (12 + t); rear blank is (36 + 4t) × 12. The four vertical panels remain 12 × 12.
For actual 15/32 in plywood, the adjusted top/bottom are 37⅞ × 12 15/32 in, the rear blank is 37⅞ × 12 in, and total bank height is 12 15/16 in. The CSV retains the original true-½-in schedule, so revise those rows if your measured stock differs.
The model does not supply these construction details. They stay marked Design hold in the CSV so a missing piece cannot look like a completed takeoff.
The shown 6:12 pitch is 26.565°. A 72 in horizontal half-span has 36 in rise and an 80.498 in theoretical sloped line (about 80½ in). A 12 in horizontal overhang adds 13.416 in along that slope. These are reference lines only: ridge thickness, heel height, bearing, seat/birdsmouth, fascia and the structural scheme change the actual cuts. The illustrated trusses should not be cut from the 3D model.
